Hey everyone,

I’m really struggling with Glide’s search functionality. Right now, when using the List Collection with the search option, it only queries a single column. But I want users to type a description, and Glide should extract keywords and search across multiple columns.

Is there a way to do this? Any tips or tricks would be life-saving!

Thanks in advance!

So you mean it can be a partial match? Or it doesn’t have to match at all, only the AI-generated keywords count?
